LISP STYLE & DESIGN explores the process of style in the development of Lisp programs. Style comprises efficient algorithms. good organization. appropriate abstractions. well-constructed
function definitions, useful commentary. and effective debugging. Good design and style enhance programming efficiency because they make programs easier to understand, to debug, and to maintain.
A special feature of this book is the large programming example that the authors use throughout to illustrate how the process develops: organizing the approach, choosing constructs, using abstractions, structuring files, debugging code, and improving program efficiency. Lisp programmers, symbolic programmers or those intrigued by symbolic programming,
as well as students of Lisp should consider this book an essential addition to their libraries.
